Like Wikipedia, Not Wikipedia is a user-maintained encyclopedia. Anyone can view the information on the site, however, to get involved with creating and maintaining wikis, a user needs to create a free account. From there, a user can upgrade to a paid membership, allowing the creation of private wikis, which can be shared with individuals the user wishes to collaborate with.
- Anyone can view public wikis by browsing the site.
- Users can create, edit, delete, and maintain any public wiki using Markdown syntax.
- Users can pay to upgrade to a premium account, allowing the creation of private wikis.
- Premium users can invite other users to collaborate on private wikis they have created.
- Premium users can cancel their subscription.
- When a user downgrades their account, their private wikis will automatically be made public.
